Now the leaders - who were directly involved in the World Cup cheating in Trondheim - have been punished by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS).
Coach Magnus Brevig, serviceman Adrian Livelten and assistant Thomas Lobben were suspended for 18 months. In addition, the three must each pay a fine of just over 50,000 kronor.
The trio have admitted that they manipulated Lindvik's and Forfang's ski jumping suits ahead of the World Championships by making the suits stiffer.
